Being alive is an erotic process--constantly transforming the self through contact with others, desiring ever more life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn clever and surprising ways, Weber recognizes that love--the impulse to establish connections, to intermingle, to weave our existence poetically together with that of other beings--is a foundational principle of reality. The fact that we disregard this principle lies at the core of a global crisis of meaning that plays out in the avalanche of species loss and in our belief that the world is a dead mechanism controlled through economic efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough rooted in scientific observation, \u003cem\u003eMatter and Desire \u003c\/em\u003ebecomes a tender philosophy for the Anthropocene, a \"poetic materialism,\" that closes the gap between mind and matter. Ultimately, Weber discovers, in order to save life on Earth--and our own meaningful existence as human beings--we must learn to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53170409177395,"sku":"9781603586979","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VmxkckVlSStYYUkvblJEVDUyMndCdz09.webp?v=1774471836","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/matter-and-desire-an-erotic-ecology-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
